CHELSEA GARBER
Founder & CEO
Introducing Chelsea Garber, the CEO and founder of two companies. First, Ascend Equity, a boutique multifamily syndication investment firm. Second, ROI ByDesign, a commercial design and remodeling firm.
Featured in Globe St and with a remarkable $55 million multifamily portfolio and ownership of over 500 units, Chelsea significantly emphasizes the emotional connection residents feel in her properties. This approach not only increases her tenant retention but also enhances her tenants’ overall quality of life. What distinguishes her is not only the path of mastering the intricacies of real estate on her terms but also her steadfast dedication to aesthetics and quality of ownership.
"In a landscape dominated by men, the experience of being a woman can be isolating and formidable—sentiments I've grappled with throughout my career. My journey is fueled by a commitment to shatter the barriers that hold women back in real estate. To empower them with the knowledge, unwavering support, and a community that will pave the way to their financial liberation," declares Chelsea.
With each property she designs—whether one of her investment properties or someone else's—Chelsea aims to transform lives and create a better future for families and everyone involved.
Chelsea Garber is a beacon of impact investments, perseverance, persistence, and leadership in an industry where these qualities are the cornerstones of lasting success.

Our Vision :
A multifamily investment firm driven by integrity and unity. Our people come first.
Because when our properties thrive and our residents thrive, our pockets thrive.
After years of acquiring, owning & operating large-scale multifamily properties, this approach was often overlooked in the industry. And so Ascend Equity was born.
But how do we accomplish this?



We place a heavy emphasis on repositioning assets through strategic design and remodeling.
Being the CEO & Founder of a multifamily design firm and nearly two decades of experience, I have seen this strategy become a money-making machine.
The key? An aesthetic-driven approach.
Design decisions made by professionals ensure that our money spent gets the highest return on investment.
In addition,
We take a hands-on collaborative method to owning and managing.
We are not your check-in once-a-month type of ownership group; we are well-invested in the overall success of our communities and the lives of our tenants, property managers, vendors and strategic partners.


Because let's be honest! Investing isn't just about money. It's about time — the ultimate luxury.
Time is freedom.
Freedom to never miss making memories with your friends and family.
Freedom to travel when you want, where you want, for as long as you want. Freedom to create the life you've always dreamed of.
